| * Ottoman Rule (1516–1918): Jordan was part of the Ottoman Empire, included in the region known as Greater Syria. This period saw significant administrative changes and land management reforms, impacting land ownership and records. | |
| * Emirate of Transjordan (1921–1946): Following the Great Arab Revolt against the Ottomans during World War I, the British established the Emirate of Transjordan under the mandate system, with Abdullah I as the emir. This period involved changes in land ownership and governance structures.
| |
| * Independence and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (1946): Jordan gained full independence from Britain and was established as the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, with Abdullah I as king. This period saw further changes in land ownership and administrative records as the new government took control.
| |
| * Land Reforms and Immigration (1950s–1970s): The Jordanian government implemented land reforms to redistribute land and accommodate the influx of Palestinian refugees following the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and the 1967 Six-Day War. These reforms significantly altered land ownership records and impacted genealogical research.
